Kevin and Alan of BLACK’S
CAMP & RESTAURANT (843-753-2231) said the fishing
has been real good. They have been seeing some very good trips
for the catfish. The crappies can be caught over brush piles on
jigs and minnows in deeper water. Bass fishing has been great
in the shallow water around some type of cover. The local Bass
Clubs have been weighing in some pretty hefty bags of bass. Shellcrackers
are biting on worms in shallow water and bream are being caught
right with them. Kevin invites you to come out to their fine restaurant
for some good eating, enjoy the great fishing, and their great
hospitality. You can call Kevin Davis or visit their website at
www.blackscamp.com for fishing guide services available and Kevin
says we have GROUP RATES for 10 to 65 people, give us a call for
more information. Black’s also has some dock spaces available.
Also, They would like to remind everyone to practice catch and
release, so we will have plenty of bass, crappie, bream, stripers,
and catfish to catch in the future.
Capt. Joe Carnley (www.cheaphookercatfishguide.com or 843-753-3050)
“THE
CHEAP HOOKER CATFISH GUIDE” says catfish are being
caught all over the lakes and in the Canal. The trick is to be
in the right place at the right time. We've had some very good
days and nights and when they're pulling water, creating a current
you can't go wrong fishing in the Canal. Sometimes the fish can
be uncooperative and that can make for a long day. But heck, you're
still out fishing and that's better than being at work or mowing
your lawn. Other times the fish are biting so fast you hardly
have time to get one rod back in the water before another one
goes down. You just don't know for sure how your trip will turn
out until you've gone out there and fished it. Most of the time
it's somewhere in between. We catch enough fish to keep things
interesting and we usually get at least one big fish to sweeten
the deal. I have a few dates available for July and several more
in August. I recommend night trips because it'll be much more
comfortable when the sun goes down. If you'd like to take a chance
at one of those giant, Santee Cooper, catfish give me a call.
I'd be happy to fish with you. My boat has a hardtop with a clear
curtain enclosure to protect you from the elements. I also have
a port-a-potty enclosed in it's own private area which comes as
quite a relief for the ladies. Ask about the MILITARY or FAMILY
DISCOUNTS! Check it out at www.CheapHookerCatfishGuide.com.
